Hover floating terminal

[seongs1024]

Background to request the feature

When i wrote the rust code below by helix and excecuted :run-shell-command cargo run

use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;

const CLEAR_TERMINAL: &str = "\x1B[2J\x1B[1;1H";

fn main() {
    let nums = (0..5).into_iter();
    nums.for_each(|n| {
        let progress = "*".repeat(n);
        println!("{}{}", CLEAR_TERMINAL, progress);
        sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
    });
}

The result was that whole aggregated lines appeared after all the process had been done.

But actually what i expected was that, every second, the terminal cleared and the * was increasing up to ****.

The :run-shell-command is inconvenient in that:

• it should wait until the command done
• the output might be able to be different
• if the command failed, the only Command failed phrase shows up at the bottom so cannot know what went wrong with it.

Request

Popup terminal like vim-floaterm plugin
